והרי כיס דבר הגבהה הוא ואפילו הכי קני במשיכה א"ל במיתנא אנא נמי במיתנא קא אמינא א"ל במידי דבעי מיתנא

He who steals a purse on the Sabbath<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And carried it out into reshuth harabbim. It is forbidden to carry from private domain into public domain and vice versa on the Sabbath. ');"><sup>22</sup></span> is liable [to make restitution], because the obligation [to pay restitution], for the theft 'has preceded<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The thief becomes liable to pay restitution as soon as he lifted the object. ');"><sup>23</sup></span> the offence against the prohibition of the Sabbath.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' His liability to the penalty for desecrating the Sabbath does not commence simultaneously with his liability to make restitution. While the latter follows immediately upon his lifting of the stolen object (cf. previous note), the former is effected subsequently. when he takes the object out into reshuth harabbim. Since the two offences have not been committed simultaneously, the law that the lighter penalty (that for theft) is superseded by the heavier (that for desecration of the Sabbath) does not apply.
